Random Hair Thoughts/Thinking out loud

I'm getting my hair bleached tomorrow. I'm excited yet nervous. I had my hair bleached when I cut it and my hair that was bleached has been doing fine (not fried or damaged if anything that I can see). I want heavy highlights this time (all over) and I hope that I can still maintain my health with them. If not I guess I will be cutting again. :lol:

Oh lawd! That is one thing I'm sure I'll never do. You are a brave one!
 
I couldn't find joico moisture recovery treatment balm so bought the conditioner instead for a DC, it was totally meh. Ended up buying 2 treatment balms online and using the conditioner for cowashing and it really impressed me :yep: I hope it doesn't beat my trememme naturals because it is way too expensive for a cowash conditioner (when I cowash most days)

I couldn't find it either, where did you order from(please share)?
 
I just did my first protective style and took a picture (I did another one but didn't take a picture weeks ago ). It might look crappy to some but if you know me on here I'm known for doing only curls and basically low manipulation styles like box braiding my hair

I think it would of been Fuller if airdried
 
I think I will try using protein (even if medium or light protein) once a month to see if it will cut down on the few broken hair I get. It's not excessive but why wait til it gets that way. I always do stuff in advanced to avoid major problems
 
That's what I get for half looking. I picked up a suave Rosemary and mint conditioner and said I was avoiding cones and slowly but surely finishing off the rest of the other conditioners. What do I see when I read today before putting it in my closet? A cone! smh I do like the way it feels on my scalp, a bit refreshing

What's a cone?
 
I think my hair wants to go back to cowashing every day. It just feels better/softer when I do. I wash it every other day now and the day between has me anxious for the softness after a wash.

Any ingredient that ends with cone or xane . It's synthetic and makes your hair feel smooth and appear shiny and moisturize but it suffocates the strands and scalp by blocking out moisture . It causes buildup over time.So it's important you clarify them out. Some love cones and are successful with using them because they clarify. I clarify but still want to stay away from cones anyway. They are Also in all heat protectors. They provide a barrier from the heat and coats the hair lookingforkeona

Thanks for all the info. Just looked at my fave Pantene Curl Perfection conditioner has one of the ones to avoid in it.

Do you know any without cones or alcohol?

Tresemme naturals ( I love this one) and Aussie moist. It's a few lookingforkeona and all alcohols aren't drying. Some are fatty natural alcohols. You can look it up . I will be back with conditioners without cones. You have to watch out for some in shampoos as well
 
Finally put my hair in twists for a twist out. Blah. Took me an hour and a half because my twist outs look the best when my twists are on the smaller side.

If anything, it just reaffirmed that I'll be keeping my appointment to get this tapered cut.
